My old band, Five Sins Ago, 2 weeks after our singer quit and I took over with that mess coming out my throat. This was a battle of the bands that we knew we didn’t have much of a shot in but this venue is where the national acts play before they’re shed/arena level and the prize was a string of shows at or around the Hard Rock (the giant Les Paul hotel). 2007.
We watched the place empty out in droves after certain bands left, that floor was full earlier in the day, we stopped caring as much and went to our normal drinking routine and got the promoter absolutely wrecked, we got 2nd place.
It was the best move we ever made because that guy booked us all over the place after that night. Never once got our name right.
Edit- the Nacho I mention on here occasionally is the chicken wing flappin’ mawfucka on the left.
